1. Find out who’s in charge

Introduce yourself to the medical director of the facility, and to Mom’s doctor. They will be able to answer all your questions about the facility, and help you ensure that Mom gets the treatment she needs.

2. Get to know the staff

The people who will be taking care of Mom every day are the nurses, nursing assistants, and various therapists in the facility. Develop a good relationship with them, and make sure they know that you want to be involved in Dad’s care.

Taking these two steps is a simple matter at Atlantic Coast Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center, in Lakewood, NJ. Our long term care program was designed specifically to meet the unique needs and interests of seniors and long-term care patients. It emphasizes a restorative approach, encouraging each patient’s potential to maximize function and mobility.

Most importantly, our guiding principle for long-term care is this: what would we want for our own parents in a long-term care setting?

You will feel at ease once you meet our staff. The Atlantic Coast Social Services team is dedicated to ensuring that every resident thrives socially, emotionally, and spiritually, and our carefully selected caregivers undergo special sensitivity training, and treat residents with love, compassion, and dignity.
